Fire areas have been declared official crime scenes. This means NO ONE can start rebuilding for at least 3 weeks.

This is a load of crap, government needs to fast track direct house areas. Also, they need to force the banks to freeze ALL MORTGAGES. These people should not have to keep paying mortgages.

I feel sick everytime I hear the death toll and see vision of the burnt out scrub and property.
Mr Brumby has rightly called for a royal commission, but refers to the situation as a natural disaster, disaster but not natural.

He has told us that what has happened couldnt been foreseen? pardon, climatologists have been telling us for the last 20 years that temps will go up, the climate and surroundings will be drier, bushfire risk and severity of the fires risk will be greater?

We have had the extremes on climate in both ends of the country at once, are the eyes open yet politicians? Ive just returned from california, where cities such as LA and sanfran have had record high winter temps.

Yes Mr Rudd, the cost of doing nothing about climate change has been very high, insignificant to all the stupid barking you and those other short sighted politicians have been doing about the price of petrol and "financial crisis" we are having. The real issues(whats going to cost more than 42 billion to fix), the physical condition of where we live sadly being put on the back burner, and now it has erupted into an inferno....yeh, great surprise.

Sure burning some arsonists, if we catch them, might deter future ones, but its not going to stop these sort of fires happening again.
In my mind, there are others there are others that are far more liablethan just those found with a burning match in their hand, rhymes with tush and coward ...

Please do not turn this into climate change bullshit. Perhaps if greens didnt prevent clearing etc, these problems wouldn't of been as bad.

Seriously, keep the climate change bullshit out of here. Climate change didn't cause this, a wanker with a lighter, seriously bad forest litter and terrible weather caused it. **** me.

Yeah... political views should go in the political thread...

And the reports that alot of these fires were deliberatly lit... sickens me...

When they find the people responisble they should set them on fire...

Also the media needs to quit trying to interview people... if someone wants to share their ordeal they will... don't try to force them into answering stupid and obvious questions!
